Class Central Tips

This course is intended to be an introduction to machine learning for non-technical business professionals. There is a lot of hype around machine learning and many people are concerned that in order to use machine learning in business, you need to have a technical background. For reasons that are covered in this course, that's not the case. In actuality, your knowledge of your business is far more important than your ability to build an ML model from scratch.

By the end of this course, you will have learned how to:
• Formulate machine learning solutions to real-world problems
• Identify whether the data you have is sufficient for ML
• Carry a project through various ML phases including training, evaluation, and deployment
• Perform AI responsibly and avoid reinforcing existing bias
• Discover ML use cases
• Be successful at ML

Although the course is all about machine learning, since it's a non-technical course, I strongly recommend for those who want to take a look at how ML engineers are doing and see if they fit in this career. GG designs the course precisely and one unique thing is their Qwiklabs exercises to give students real life experiment of ML. Quizzes are short and easy, which are good points.
